At that moment, He Yuzhu felt a deep sense of disgust towards the old man.
He really couldn't understand why the old man would say that about Li Chu.
On his way back, he had thought everything through completely.
Despite Xu Damao's apparent constant opposition, many of the things he said to him were actually for his own good.
However, he always thought that Xu Damao was deliberately mocking him and didn't take what Xu said seriously, which led to the current situation.
And then there's Li Chu. People from all walks of life tried to persuade him, but he didn't listen to a word they said.
Then look at Jiang Li, who used to live in Li Chu's house. She was also a single mother with a child. After getting married, even though she was in poor health and had to take medicine every day, she still tried her best to take care of her health and have another child.
As for Qin Huairu, no matter what, she always considered the Jia family's interests and never considered He Yuzhu's.
After the old man left, He Yuzhu lay on the bed fully clothed, staring at the ceiling of the room for a long, long time.
By the time Li Chu learned that He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu had divorced, it was already April.
Monday, April 7
After finishing his weekly routine meeting in the morning, Li Chu changed into casual clothes and left the hospital.
Arriving at a place not far from the hospital, they retrieved the jewelry that had just been made.
The person who made the jewelry for him was introduced through a third party, just for peace of mind. He made quite a lot of jewelry, and I really didn't feel comfortable letting him entrust it to a stranger.
On the way back to the hospital, Li Chu was still slightly excited.
I wonder how my wife will react when she sees these pieces of jewelry.
As I walked across the street from the hospital, I saw Xu Damao come out and walk to the bicycle storage area next to it.
"Da Mao"
Li Chu crossed the road and called out in a loud voice.
Xu Damao, who was about to push his bicycle away, heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw that it was the person he had come to find. He locked the bicycle again and walked over.
"Brother Chu"
"You came here to see me?"
"Nothing much, I just happened to be passing by and thought I'd go in and chat with you. I've been so busy for the past month or so that I haven't had a chance."
"Let's go, to my office."
...
"How's it going at the cafeteria?" Li Chu poured Xu Damao a glass of water and sat back down in his chair.
Small Bookstore
"It's alright. I was a bit flustered for the first two days, but things got normal after that."
"It's been a month already, have you settled the accounts yet? How's it going? Can you still provide accommodation?"
Xu Damao got excited when he mentioned this: "Brother Chu, let me tell you, it's definitely profitable. After deducting the contract fee, my father-in-law gave the canteen helpers an extra five yuan, the three head chefs an extra ten yuan, and He Yuzhu an extra fifteen yuan."
Wow, if Lou's dad can post like this, it means he really has earned a lot.
Li Chu didn't expect that this would be the first month, and many things wouldn't go smoothly. But once things started to fall into place, he should be able to earn even more.
"Hehe, Brother Chu, do you know how much salary you paid me?"
"Then shouldn't you give at least a hundred?"
"Hey, you were right!"
"Wow, that's really a lot!" He had just said it casually, but he didn't expect that Lou's father would actually pay his son-in-law such a high salary.
"Brother Chu, I'm going to be a high-earning guy from now on. I'll treat you guys to dinner this weekend."
"That's a must, you definitely have to invite them. But, Da Mao, you must make it clear to your father-in-law that you shouldn't be too high-profile at the factory. You can give the people in the canteen a little more money, but you must make sure they keep it a secret and don't let it get out."
No matter what the issue, the problem isn't scarcity but inequality. If others knew the cafeteria's benefits were so good, there would definitely be complaints.
"Don't worry, Brother Chu. You mentioned this before, and my father-in-law also told them that if it gets out, it will definitely be gone. Those people will keep it a secret for their own sake."
After saying that, Xu Damao remembered that shocking piece of gossip and said mysteriously, "Brother Chu, did you know that He Yuzhu got divorced?"
? ? ?
What are you saying? I don't understand.
Li Chu's face was completely dumbfounded at this moment.
"Brother Chu, I don't think you know either. They got divorced in February."
Why?
"I heard it, I only heard it, it's because Qin Huairu got an IUD and didn't want to have a child with He Yuzhu."
“I know she has an IUD, she can just have it removed.”
"Huh? Brother Chu, how did you know Qin Huairu got an IUD?"
“I knew it all along; I saw him the day he went to Sheung Wan.”
Why don't you say that?
Why should I talk about other people's business?
"Hey~ you're absolutely right, Brother Chu." Xu Damao smiled helplessly.
"They divorced because of this?"
"Yes, it is said that He Yuzhu asked Qin Huairu to remove her IUD, but she refused, so he divorced her."
Li Chu could understand Qin Huairu quite well; she was indeed a good mother who sacrificed her own happiness for her child.
However, she'll probably regret it later; none of her three children are easy to deal with.
"How's Zhu Zi doing at the cafeteria this past month?"
“Not bad. My father-in-law even kept an eye on him. Besides, He Yuzhu has started dating someone else.”
"So fast?" Li Chu was even more surprised. He had been sticking around Qin Huairu the whole time, but now that he had let go, he had completely let loose.
"He's in a hurry, isn't he forty-five this year?"
"Well, he's only a few months younger than me. I was born at the beginning of the year, and he was born at the end. What's the rush? As long as he's capable of making money, even if it takes a few more years, he can find someone in their thirties. As for having children, that's no problem at all."
"The woman she found this time is just 30 years old. She works at the Second Bed Sheet Factory. Her husband died of illness. She has two daughters. Because they are girls, her husband's family doesn't want them. He Yuzhu agreed to help her raise the children, and the woman also agreed to have another child with him."
"That's not bad. Hopefully, he can seize this opportunity."
"Moreover, Brother Chu, from what I heard from He Yuzhu, it seems that he wants to exchange houses with someone else outside and doesn't want to live in that courtyard anymore."
"Then tell him that if he wants to change it, he should do so as soon as possible. The property registration will probably start again in May or June. It will be more troublesome if he wants to change it then."
The process of registering property rights has been in preparation for almost two years, and it's finally going to begin this year.
"Re-register property rights?"
"Yes, news has already come out. Have your father-in-law look into whether he can buy a detached house. These kinds of houses will become increasingly rare in the future."
"Why buy it? We might as well get an apartment." Xu Damao said dismissively.
Yes, people nowadays really long to live in an apartment building, because it's so convenient for everything.
